* TheChewToy/{{Live-Action TV}}

-->-- [[WesternAnimation/BeastWars Waspinator]] bemoans his lot in life, particularly his habit of being blown up OnceAnEpisode.

* Katia Managan from ''Webcomics/Prequel''. Generally, the whole story is about her getting punched by life hard and trying to recover. And it's been like this for three years.

* Fat-Blue/Mr. Johnson in ''Series/SesameStreet.'' Can't Grover ever get his order right? Even when Grover isn't around, he has bad luck with other restaurants.
* ''Series/TheMuppetShow''
** Beaker was brought in as a lab assistant for Dr Bunsen Honeydew to test his inventions on. They invariably went wrong. Over time he began to be used in more skits outside of Muppet Labs, which usually also involved him getting hurt somehow, even if he was the only one taking part in the skit. He seems to be one of the more popular Muppets, however, judging by how frequently he is used (and tormented) in the Website/YouTube videos that The Muppets Studio are currently producing.
** Another in-universe example of the Muppets is Bean Bunny, either finding himself squished inbetween a wall and an opened door, or having piles of props crash on top of him. {{Word of God}} has it that it's become something of a [[BreakTheCutie break the cutie]] [[RunningGag running gag]] on the set of Muppet productions.

** There's also the Imperial Guard, while they do have their moments they usually are the ones who suffer the worse ends of everything the Imperium encounters, and die by the billions in every possible outcome in the universe can throw at. Indeed, this tendency is commonly what endears them to their fans, as it underlines the Guard's bravery.
** Forgeworld's Elysian regiments are subject to this; they lose every battle they appear in (three Imperial Armour books so far), and have also suffered disaster in at least one Black Library novel.

** Fantasy Flight's 40K roleplaying games usually have some variant disadvantage that does this to characters -- OnlyWar has "Doomed" which can wreck an entire regiment's life.

* Katia Managan from ''Webcomics/Prequel''. Nuff said.
** What is interesting about it, is the fact that she is the main character of the comic. Generally, the whole story is about her getting punched by the life hard, and trying to recover. And it's been like this for 3 years.

Compare with the ButtMonkey (a character who is mistreated regardless of audience opinion), and TheEeyore (whose depression is usually in excess of their actual mistreatment), and the IronButtmonkey (who seems to suffer injury and accidents more frequently than anyone should, but is capable of taking it). Contrast with TheWoobie, whose suffering inspires sympathy and a desire to make things better for them instead of amusement. The polar opposite is KarmaHoudini, where characters do horrible things while karma (and occasionally the other characters) sits back, watches, and [[PassThePopcorn eats popcorn]].

* ''Fanfic/AGrowingAffection'' makes Sasuke into this. [[spoiler:He gets mind controlled by the Blood Drinker Demon, and has to be rescued by Naruto. He manages to beat Orochimaru, but that turns out to be all part of Orochimaru's plan. He goes after Itachi, only to be defeated and get his team killed by Kisame. He lets Ororchimaru take over his body in return for Orochimaru killing Itachi. Except that during the fight Orochimaru manipulates it so Sasuke learns the truth about Itachi and the Uchiha slaughter (different from canon) rendering everything Sasuke has done pointless. Finally Sasuke sacrifices himself to give Naruto a chance to finish Orochimaru.]]

* TheChewToy/{{Real Life}}

* In the mid 90s, Pizza Hut had "The Pizza Head Show", starring their mascot at the time, Pizza Head. Pizza Head was an expy of Saturday Night Live's Mr. Bill, and had a nemesis in the pizza cutter Steve who always had it in for him. Typical plots had Steve in his latest disguise showing up to screw Pizza Head over in some fashion, with Pizza Head frequently saying "Hey, he's not a <insert role here>!" to which the announcer would always say "Sure he is!"
